Arsenal legend Ian Wright announces he is QUITTING Match of the Day after 27 years
IAN WRIGHT has announced that he will be leaving his job as a Match of the Day pundit.
The Arsenal legend, 60, first appeared on the hit TV show while still playing back in 1997.
And he has been a regular on the programme alongside host Gary Lineker and fellow pundit Alan Shearer since hanging up his boots.
However, the ex-England striker has now revealed on social media that this will be his last season working on MOTD.
Wright broke the news on Sunday, posting a statement that read: “After my debut show whilst still a player in 1997 and many more memorable years, I’ll be stepping back from BBC MOTD at the end of this season.
“I feel very privileged to have had such an incredible run on the most iconic football show in the world.”
